April 10 Ode to the Ecobaroque

We don't review every college gallery show and the greater the distance the lower the probability.

Bruce Conkle https://bruceconkle.com/ is a long time Portland artist in installation, sculpture, and 2d work. His work has a sense of wry humor. He is artist in residence at the Clark College Archer Gallery and the work has a reception today.

"Bruce Conkle declares an affinity for mysterious natural phenomenon such as snow, fire, rainbows, crystals, volcanos, tree burls, and meteorites. He examines contemporary attitudes toward the environment, including deforestation, climate change, and extinction. Conkle's work often deals with man's place within nature, and frequently examines what he calls the "misfit quotient" at the crossroads."

The opening reception is today and there are workshops and a talk over a month you can find on the gallery website.
